以西結書 41:7-8 RCUVTS

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Ezekiel 41:8

(8) I saw also the height of the house.—This does not mean the height of the house itself, which is nowhere stated. The words are, literally, I saw for the house a height (i.e., an elevation) round about, and the meaning of this is explained in what follows. The Temple, as has been already said (Ezekiel 40:49), was entered by a flight of steps leading up to the porch, and was therefore on a higher level than the court. We are now told that the side chambers had a foundation of six cubits.... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Ezekiel 41:1-26

Ezekiel 41:1 Neither Jesus Christ, nor Luther and Knox, when they proclaimed the downfall of a corrupt hierarchy, thought of establishing society, by way of reform, upon a secular basis. All alike treated the system they attacked as the perversion of something good and sacred, all alike substituted another Church for that which they destroyed. Our modern reformers who wish to hand over what they take from the Church to the State are of a different type. They are of those who do not understand... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:1-26

THE SANCTUARYTHE fundamental idea of the theocracy as conceived by Ezekiel is the literal dwelling of Jehovah in the midst of His people. The Temple is in the first instance Jehovah’s palace, where He manifests His gracious presence by receiving the gifts and homage of His subjects. But the enjoyment of this privilege of access to the presence of God depends on the fulfilment of certain conditions which, in the prophet’s view, had been systematically violated in the arrangements that prevailed... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:1-26

THE MILLENNIAL TEMPLE These chapters give a picture of the restored temple at Jerusalem during the Millennium, and of the worship of the Messiah when He shall exercise sway from that center to the ends of the earth. Beginning with Ezekiel 40:1-5 , we have an introduction to the subject: (1) the location and the opening vision (the vision is of a city on the south); (2) a man with a measuring rod; (3) a building surrounded by a wall (Ezekiel 40:5 ). In Ezekiel 40:6-16 the measurement of the... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 41:7

Broader, as the wall was not so thick. (Haydock) --- Midst. The two staircases were round in the hollow of the wall, (Menochius) at the eastern end of the chambers. (Josephus) See 3 Kings. (Calmet) read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:1-7

1-7 Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, took Jerusalem, and carried whom and what he pleased away. From this first captivity, most think the seventy years are to be dated. It is the interest of princes to employ wise men; and it is their wisdom to find out and train up such. Nebuchadnezzar ordered that these chosen youths should be taught. All their Hebrew names had something of God in them; but to make them forget the God of their fathers, the Guide of their youth,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 41:8-16

8-16 The interest we think we make for ourselves, we must acknowledge to be God's gift. Daniel was still firm to his religion. Whatever they called him, he still held fast the spirit of an Israelite. These youths scrupled concerning the meat, lest it should be sinful. When God's people are in Babylon they need take special care that they partake not of her sins. It is much to the praise of young people, not to covet or seek the delights of sense. Those who would excel in wisdom and piety, must... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Ezekiel 41:1-11

The Sanctuary Proper and its Side Building v. 1. Afterward He brought me to the Temple, literally, "to the palace," the inner edifice, "of the Temple," and measured the posts, evidently immense half pillars, six cubits broad on the one side and six cubits broad on the other side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle, or, "the width of the tent was that. " This reference indicates that the Old Testament sanctuaries, from the time of the first Tabernacle, were only types of the one great... read more

CHAPTER 411And he brought me to the temple, and measured the wall-pillars, six cubits broad on this side, and six cubits broad on that, the breadth of the tent [wasthat]. 2And the breadth of the entrance [the door] was ten cubits, and the sides of the entrance five cubits on this side and five cubits on that; and he measured 3its [the temple’s] length, forty cubits, and the breadth, twenty cubits. And he went inward, and measured the wall-pillar of the entrance, two cubits; and the entrance,... read more
